James McLaughlin was born on February
12, 1842 in Avonmore, Ontario. He was born to parents Felix and Mary McLaughlin, the
sixth of nine children.
He emigrated to the United States in 1863. In St. Paul, Minnesota, he worked as a
blacksmith. Soon after, he relocated to Owatonna, Minnesota, and married his wife
Marie Louise Buission, a women of mixed-blood descent (Mdewakanton, Québécois, and
Scottish).
In 1871, McLaughlin was hired by Major W.H. Forbes at Fort Totten, North Dakota as a
blacksmith and general overseer for the newly established Devils Lake Agency in the
Dakota Territory. There he studied to become a United States Indian Agent, and was
appointed an agent of the Devils Lake Agency in 1876. At the agency, he worked with
members of the Sisseton Wahpeton tribe.
In 1881, McLaughlin was promoted and reassigned to the larger Standing Rock Sioux
Agency, where he worked with numerous Lakota bands. McLaughlin advocated cultural
assimilation, pressuring the bands at Standing Rock to adopt Western culture,
education, and farming practices, and promoted land-allotment as a means for
achieving self-sufficiency through subsistence farming. In 1888, he led a delegation
to Washington D.C. with a number of chiefs of Indian agents from Standing Rock to
meet with the Bureau of Indian Affairs to discuss the implementation of the Dawes
Act of 1887.
On December 15, 1890, McLaughlin ordered the arrest of Sitting Bull at Standing Rock
in fears that the Lakota leader would leave the reservation to join the Ghost
Dancers at Pine Ridge. The attempted arrest contributed to the death of Sitting
Bull, and the subsequent Wounded Knee Massacre that followed on December 29,
1890.
McLaughlin was promoted to Inspector for the Indian Department of the Department of
the Interior in 1895, and relocated to Washington D.C. In 1910, McLaughlin published
his memoir My Friend the Indian.
James McLaughlin died in Washington, D.C. in 1923. He is buried in McLaughlin, South
Dakota, the town named after him.
